fusing portraiture & photojournalsim.

Featured: VICE Media US/Canada

Marking my return to photojournalistic roots, I pitched my first piece to VICE Media headquarters in Toronto in 2016 after seeing a news segment on Michelle DuBarry, LGBTQ Icon and worlds oldest performing drag queen. Rather than Michelle's age, I wanted to explore the history of drag in Canada and more specifically through DuBarry's experience touring as a drag queen in 1950s Canada as well as get her thoughts on drag in today. When the piece was green lit, I got the rare opportunity to spend three days with DuBarry in her home and at a charity event for a Q&A and photo session . See the piece here
